Okay, how many more conspiracy theories being spread by the Clinton campaign am I going to have to disprove tonight? It's like the people in Hillary Clinton's inner circle are looking to release talking points that are absolutely absurd from the very outset and trying to pass them as fact. Which leads to my next point, where's there any proof that Wikileaks is a Russian government agency? Last time I checked, Julian Assange's never revealed any kind of documentation that the Russian government hired him to publish all the material Wikileaks has released thus far. Nor is it relevant, as there's a more likely chance that an insider contacted him as a whistle-blower seeking to expose illegal activity. What is relevant is the documents that Wikileaks has published so far are completely authentic as no one seems to be denying that they're real.

Anyway, the point I'm making is that there's no proof. And the people contacting Assange are doing so to expose a potential cover-up by the Obama Administration to protect Hillary from indictments from violating the Espionage Act regarding her use of a private email server while handling highly classified information when she was the Foreign Secretary (Secretary of State), and themselves from the fact that they knew that she was doing this. So put this on the list of false talking-points being released by the Clinton Campaign, together with both the DNC and its campaign arms, and the White House.

If you've been reading up on the latest stories of how the Russians have been working diligently at undermining American sovereignty and that they're doing so to help Donald Trump win the election in November, I'm afraid that the aforementioned argument is incredibly specious on all accounts. However, before I start breaking down how this argument is specious, I need to give a brief apology as this is the Historian inside of me that's going to be blabbering on. I'll try to make it as brief and concise as I can.

The aforementioned arguement is so badly flawed as it doesn't take into account the successful Illegals program the Russians executed with almost flawless precision during the Cold War and are currently executing in the post-Soviet era. Which begs the question, where's the proof that they're even involved to begin with? Because they execute their spying operations with such precision, they're very careful not to leave any kind of papertrail, or electronic footprint. And it's for this reason that it's never a simple process of tracing any kind of activity back to them.

So unless Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and/or the White House can offer some hard proof that the Russians are working with Wikileaks to get Trump elected, this is yet another conspiracy theory being perpetuated as fact. So keep this in mind as you decide who to vote for on November 8.

It's become apparent that Donald Trump should really temper his words very carefully since he's going into territory that no one's crossed into since the Red Scare of the early-to-mid 1950's. By continuing to spurt out one conspiracy theory after another is actually having the opposite effect of gaining himself some ground with undecided voters. Basically he's scaring voters with his comments as they sound like he's preaching to the crazies on the far-right by making calls to violence. He honestly needs to quit this act, or otherwise someone can get either hurt/injured or killed.

There's no disputing the fact that Hillary Clinton's nomination for President was an historic achievement, but it's at the cost of turning back the clock on women's rights for a generation or more. And for what? For lining her own pockets while empowering the strongest voices of male supremacy and holding the nation hostage in the process? Not if we Millennials can help it, or others can help it. Donald Trump may be one of the worst developments in our nation's history, but what he embodies is the very reality that we'll face when women are subjected to second-class citizenship thanks to Hillary's pigheaded corruption.Hillary's remaining in the 2016 presidential race given the amount of scandals she's involved in is causing many Americans who would think about voting for a female president to have second thoughts about backing another in the future. Again this is because of the horrifyingly sexist "enabler" term, meaning that a woman would be blamed for her husband's infedelity.
